Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan - Addendum (2024 - 2029)
Purpose
This is an update of the Sandy addendum to the Clackamas County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NHMP). This addendum supplements information contained in Volume I (Basic Plan) which serves as the NHMP foundation and Volume III (Appendices) which provide additional information. Updates to Sandy’s addendum are further discussed throughout the NHMP and within Volume III, Appendix B, which provides an overview of alterations to the document that took place during the update process.
Sandy adopted their addendum to the Clackamas County Multi-jurisdictional NHMP on July 15, 2024. FEMA Region X approved the Clackamas County NHMP and the City’s addendum on September 12, 2024. With approval of this NHMP the City is now eligible to apply for the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act’s hazard mitigation project grants through September 11, 2029.
The approval period for this plan is from September 12, 2024 through September 11, 2029.
An approved hazard mitigation plan is one of the conditions for applying for and receiving FEMA mitigation grants from the following programs:
- Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP)
- Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Post-Fire (HMGP-PF)
- Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)
- Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA)
- High Hazard Potential Dams Grants Program (HHPD)
Based on FEMA’s review, the plan did not include all dam risk. Thus, the participating jurisdictions are not eligible for assistance from the HHPD Grant Program. If any participating jurisdictions with HHPDs are interested in this assistance, they should contact the FEMA Region 10 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team at FEMA-R10-MT_Planning@fema.dhs.gov, to learn more about how to include all dam risks in the plan.
This addendum reflects decisions made at the designated meetings and during subsequent work and communication with the Clackamas County Resilience Coordinator, and the OPDR. The changes are highlighted with more detail throughout this document and within Volume III, Appendix B. Other documented changes include a revision of the City’s risk assessment and hazard identification sections, NHMP mission and goals, action items, and community profile.
The Sandy HMAC was comprised of the following representatives:
- Jeff Aprati – Deputy City Manager
- Jenny Coker – Public Works Director
- Andi Howell – Transit Director
- Sean Lundry – Interim Police Chief
- Kelly O’Neill Jr. – Development Services Director
- Ernie Roberts – Police Chief
